Senator Marco Rubio with Laura Ingraham on Immigration

Rubio said the immigration bill reflects principles he called for such as e-verify, a viable guest worker program, etc.. He didn't support President Obama's executive order on the CREAM Act. He said the tax code should be fixed so that people on temporary status shouldn't receive government benefits. He said documentation must be provided of temporary status. He said the Democrats want immediate amnesty in the main. He added that if an illegal breaks laws, they have to go back and wait ten years to get a green card. He also noted that those who are under thirty have to have graduated or in the military or working.

Rubio stated that the phone provision allows for border security by giving phones to people on the border.

Rubio said Hispanic growth in the US is due to the birth rate and that conservative principles should bre presented to appeal to Latinos. He claimed that the US is already suffering from the effects of illegal immigration in employment, education, health care, etc.. He said e-verify will happen and that temporary workers will get a biometric, tamper proof card for identification.
